Morphological Development of the Isthmus of Kuttanad Duck (Anas Platyrhynchos Domesticus) During Postnatal Period

Abstract

The morphology and postnatal development of isthmus region of the oviduct in the Kuttanad

Gross anatomy and histology of the urinary system of the spur winged goose (Plectropterus gambensis)

“…It has many subfamilies, those related to geese and swans are Plectropterinae, Anserinae, and Tadorninae respectively (Johnsgard, 2010). Geese are regarded as an important species economically due to their resistance to most avian diseases, ability to tolerate a wide range of adverse conditions, and large egg size (Jalaludeen et al, 2004;Patki et al, 2012). Generally, geese are herbivorous, and are monogamous breeders.…”

Histomorphometrical and Histochemical Studies on Infundibulum of Punjab White Quails

“…The developing egg remained for 9 h in the proximal part (infundibulum, magnum or isthmus) and for 39 h in the distal part of the oviduct (uterus) during the egg laying cycle (Sharaf et al, 2012). Infundibulum plays an important role in capturing out from the body of birds and weights of infundibulum and transferring of ovum and formation of chalaza (Patki et al, 2009). The cranial part of infundibular mucosa is made up of longitudinal folds lined by ciliated epithelium and had no glands, whereas The present work was conducted on oviduct of 42 Punjab white quails from 8 weeks to 32 weeks of age to study histological, micrometrical and histochemical details on the cranial and caudal parts of infundibulum.…”

“…(Khokhlov 2008). The literature is available on the histomorphochemical studies have been conducted on the infundibulum of Pati and Chara-Chemballi ducks (Deka et al, 2014), Kuttanad duck (Patki et al, 2009), hen (Khokhlov 2008), ostrich (Sharaf et al, 2012), but few reports are available on the infundibulum of Punjab white quail (Bansal et al, 2010). So, the present study will provide the scientific information on normal histoachitectureand its correlation with any abnormality occurring in the infundibulum of Punjab white quail at different age groups.…”

Gross and Microanatomical Studies on the Uterus of Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica) During the Post-hatching Period with Special Emphasis on Sperm Host Gland

“…While in early ages, it can be divided only into cranial, middle and caudal parts. Many studies have been done in order to describe the characteristic morphological features of the oviduct in many avian species including fowl [4], duck [5], turkey [1] and ostrich [6].…”
